			Bought 'em... just wish I could get the UK versions-- I prefer the British English.

			I had to have two accounts. One with a UK address where I bought them as a gift and my regular US one where I could then redeem the gift (or something like that, I don't recall completely). Of course now that you can buy them right on Kobo it's super easy to "travel", but they cost quite a bit more than $15.

			Having read the British version, I can understand some of the changes.  Little references to things in the real world like particular candies, or stores that don't exist in the US for example.  But they could have kept the changes more minimal, just changing those types of things.  I'm pretty sure the actual localization was larger.

	The only British vs. English change that I cared about what the infantilization of "Philosopher's Stone" into "Sorcerer's Stone".  |

			That title is almost, no, it is embarrassing. Poor ignorant Americans don't understand philosophy. Or the idea of a Philosopher's Stone. Realizing this is something beyond my control, as Epictetus says, I will try to remain indifferent.
